 with far more uniform colouring. Dimensions : wing

Iris brown, pupU small. 



Very common throughout the highlands, generally 

 amongst bushes, in small flocks or singly. It keeps 

 much to the ground. I never saw it at lower elevations.

I only twice obtained specimens of this species, both 

 on the highlands, one near Senaf^, the other south of 

 Antalo. Mr. Jesse shot it in the Anseba vaUey.

Iris brown. 



This is not a very common bird, and it was only 

 observed on the higher levels, usually solitary, but occa- 

 sionally in flocks. I met with it above 9,000 feet.
